TripIt Launches API ... spread the word!

It has been announced that TripIt, an exceptional travel site, launched its API this morning, which will allow third party applications to have access to TripIt’s itinerary sysytem. Launched in September 2007, TripIt is an intelligent travel organizer that helps do-it-yourself travelers manage their travel plans so that their trips go more smoothly. (source: TripIt )

The following article on TechCrunch explains exactly how users, as well as developers will benefit from the API. Our company, Where I've Been, is one of the first applications to introduce (and greatly benefit from) TripIt's API on our beta site.


"TripIt Launches An API. Travel Sites, Please Use It.
TripIt, the helpful travel site that lets you generate an itinerary by simply forwarding the service your Email confirmations from hotels and airlines, has opened up an API for outside developers. The API will give third party applications access to TripIt’s itinerary sysytem, which now accepts data from 350 travel sites. Developers can find all the details for joining the program here.

A number of applications have already used the API to implement new features. Expensd, an online service that helps business travelers manage their expenses, will use TripIt to automatically import your transit and hotel expenses. Popular iPhone application FlightTrack will use TripIt to automatically look up your flights to see if they’re on time. And Where I’ve Been, a social network application that plots your travels on a map for your friends to see, will use the API to automatically look up your destinations. Other potential uses for the API include an ‘Add To TripIt’ button that would allow travel sites to transmit your booking data to TripIt so you won’t have to forward your confirmation Email.

How do you connect Where I've Been with Tripit?

Yeah, I haven't been able to find where to allow Where I've Been to access my TripIt data, either!

It would sure be nice to connect Where I've been to TripIt. How exactly do I do so? I've searched your site in vain - and TripIt is sending folks (like me) to your site to get connected...
